Aurora Rail systems UK, part of the Project Aurora group (fantasy), operates a number of locomotive 
and HST sets in the UK on the West Coast Main Line, Midland Main Line and the South Coast lines.<br>
<br>
The Class 93 is designed purely for the UK routes, working the midland region over short-haul express 
routes between Birmingham and London.  developed from the swiss built "class 460", modifications 
include different wheel sets, similar to those used by Aurora's class 264 / Class 98 twins.  The pantograph 
over the no1 wheelset has been deleted.  The final modification is the alteration of the profile of 
the locomotive between the wheelsets.  <br>
<br>
The main disadvantage of the class 93, is its relative light weight when compared to the Class 98, this 
restricts the locomotive to passenger operations.<br>
